Coliving Spaces in Montreal

Co-living is a modern form of shared housing where residents have private bedrooms but share common spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and coworking areas. It combines affordable rent with built-in community, events, and amenities — perfect for digital nomads, students, and young professionals.

Unlike traditional flatshares, coliving spaces are professionally managed with curated communities, regular events, included utilities and WiFi, cleaning services, and flexible lease terms.

Most co-living spaces include utilities (water, electricity, gas), high-speed WiFi, regular cleaning of common areas, fully furnished rooms, access to shared amenities (kitchen, lounge, coworking), and community events. Some premium spaces also include gym access, breakfast, and laundry services.

Browse listings by city or community type, filter by your budget and preferences, then send an enquiry directly to the operator. They'll respond with availability and next steps.

Minimum stays vary by property — some offer stays as short as one week, while others require a minimum of one to three months. Use our filters to find spaces that match your timeline. Short-term stays are popular with digital nomads, while longer commitments often come with discounted rates.
